Lijiang: A place where you want to stay

As a prefecture-level city in northwest Yunnan, Lijiang has been put onto the list of Chinese Historical and Cultural Cities. The ancient town of Lijiang looks so amazing whether you are in it or see it from a bird’s eye view.

Here, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the southernmost of its kind covered with snow all year round in China. Seen from afar, the snow-capped peaks are like a magnificent flying dragon.

Here, hidden in the southern slope of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Wenhai is a well-known Naxi ethnic village where there are still no concrete houses. People still lead life in traditional ways.

Here, the Shitou Village was built on a large protruding rock with cliffs on three sides and a rocky slope on the fourth. Located at the junction area between Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, the Shitou Village is like a castle with natural barriers.
